BlueSeal’s Review of Fixing Us

Fixing Us is the third book in Miranda Elaine’s The Fixing Series. The series began with Miranda’s debut book, Fixing Her, is the story of Temperance and Asher which was a 5 out of 5 propeller book. That book was followed by Fixing Him, the story of Montana and Sam which was also a 5 out of 5 propeller book. That’s a lot of pressure on a “newbie” author to come up with a third book that is the same caliber as the first two. Grab your beverage of choice (mine would be wine) and let’s chat about Miranda Elaine’s Fixing Us.

Fixing Us is the story of Leigh and Gabe. Theirs is a story of abuse, neglect, pain, regret, alcoholism, and love. A love so strong that neither of them can walk away for long periods of time. Believe me they have tried albeit unsuccessfully…for 12 (yes, I said 12) long and painful years. There is something there that keeps them going back time after time. Could it be that they are soul mates? Quite possibly.

Gabe is the product of a severely dysfunctional family which has left him believing that he will never be good enough for Leigh. He has spent the last 12 years drinking, getting sober, learning to tattoo, buying a tattoo shop, “big brother” to a kid in foster care, and watching over Leigh the only woman that he will ever love. Leigh’s heart was shattered by Gabe when he broke up with her after her high school graduation the one that he watched from a distance because he didn’t get to graduate. She didn’t care that he was a foster kid from the wrong side of the tracks. They were in love and had plans. Gabe freaked out once he realized that Leigh’s plans including building a family together which is he was determined not to have. He refuses to pass along any of his family’s genetic traits to another generation.

One night of unprotected passion changed everything. Can Gabe step up to be the man that Leigh and his baby need him to be? Can Leigh convince Gabe that he already is that man?

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! My rating for this book is a 5 out of 5 propellers!It is my favorite one in the series mainly because I love the flawed, beautifully broken Gabe. (To tell you how much I loved this book, I actually got pissed off when I had to stop reading to go to my son’s soccer game. Don’t give me that look! I admit that it was totally a bad mom moment. I went to the game but made my husband drive so that I could read it in the car but I did not read it during the game.) So far, every book in The Fixing Series has been 5 out of 5 propellers. I can’t wait to see what is next! Maybe I can talk Miranda into another interview and see what is up her sleeve.
